Roald Amundsen, "The South Pole" — Map

A map for Roald Amundsen’s “The South Pole,” published in Ukrainian by Bearded Tamarin, translated by Denys Ratushnyi. The map charts the route of the Norwegian expedition that, in December 1911, made Amundsen the first person to reach the southernmost point of Earth.

It traces the expedition’s path from the Antarctic coast to the pole, marking all ten supply depots laid down along the way — the staged caches that provisioned both the push to the pole and the return, and on which the expedition’s success depended. Drawn on a South Pole orthographic projection, the map sets out the principal features along the route: the Ross Sea, the Bay of Whales, the Ross Ice Barrier, King Edward VII Land, and the King Haakon VII Plateau. Mountain peaks and glaciers that served as navigation landmarks are marked, with the route shown as a dotted line linking the depots.

This is the first complete, unabridged edition of Amundsen’s account in Ukrainian, retaining all the original photographs, diagrams, and appendices.
